As a member of our hotel team, you will be making sure every customer who stays with us has a great experience from the moment they arrive, to when they leave. Working nights, you will sometimes be working on your own and your overall purpose will be to make sure our guests sleep soundly knowing they are safe and secure.

What you will be doing

* Delivering a great customer experience at every stage of our customer journey

* Welcoming our late customers to the hotel – checking them in and allocating the right rooms

* Listening to customers, managing any requests or issues with genuine warmth and interest

* Working together with your colleagues to make sure you deliver consistently great service – writing a clear handover for the next shift

* Keeping your team and customer safe by following health and safety procedures, including regular fire and safety walks during each shift

* Keep your line manager up to date with any problems and follow up where necessary

* Supporting with cleaning rooms or supporting other colleagues where necessary

* Follow cash and banking procedures

* Set up housekeeping trolleys ready for the next shift to brand standards

* Set up breakfast items to brand standards, ready for the morning shift

* Patrol the hotel at regular intervals, ensuring guests have a good night’s sleep and internal noise is kept to a minimum

* Set up the hotel, ready for the next day’s trade

* Pre-empt problems before they arise and resolve promptly when they do

Note: Due to the nature of this role and the possibility of lone working, this position is only suitable for those over the age of 18 years due to Health and Safety regulations.

To succeed in this role, you will need to demonstrate a genuine passion for customer service and be comfortable working on your own. You will be confident dealing with difficult situations that may arise during the night shift and able to make decisions about when to escalate.
